My brother’s long-term partner is an alum and teacher at a top liberal arts college that my daughter may be interested in applying to. The school is a somewhat of a reach for her. Is it okay to have this person write a letter of recommendation for D? D already has 4 amazing letters of recommendations from English teacher, History teacher and 2 from music
teachers that have known her and worked with her for years. Her interests are music and communications/English. Would the rec be inappropriate from a relative, although technically they are not related yet?
thanks
